  1. Are these still available? Could really use them ....
  2. I'd be very interested to know the stats of how many ride their stuff to death and how many carefully analyze wear and replace timeously... not interested enough to create a poll though, I'm off to Hector Norris Park to go do something different on a bike for a change 😎
  3. Sorry ou's but as a non "anorak" I'd rather take the Sheriff's advice and ride my stuff till it's dead .... but that's probably just me the "luddite" These "micro millimeter" discussions go over my head
  4. Every now and then I read stuff from some hubbers and it reminds of that yellow 🤠 chap ... ek se maar net 😜
  5. Ride with whoever invites you ... life's to short to be petty about things
  6. There are easier ways to spend a Sunday morning, albeit with a lot of frustration going by the golfers f'ing and blinding ... but few as rewarding as a bike ride in this mornings perfect conditions! Blue skies for days on the Highveld 😎
  7. The right tire choice for today, a cracker ride out 😃 A corner has certainly been turned 😎
  8. https://www.bicycling.com/news/a42221016/zwift-bans-digitally-doping-rider/ "We’ll see if he makes a triumphant return to Zwift in May—or if he takes them up on their offer of reinstatement if he can prove in a lab setting that he can manage 8.5 watts per kilo for a solid four minutes."
  9. No, no, not today 😎 After half an hour of fighting with the tubeless on the front wheel, messing sealant everywhere it actually stayed up for the ride! A 'no chain' ride really 👀 - if you know you know ... take them whenever they come, it's not often!
  10. Got a little wet this morning ... I'm not really a coffee rider though 🤪
  11. A photo in this case would help a lot ... it would depend very much where the chunk is out, how big it is and so on In my experience it has been 50/50 successful, if its on the braking surface or around the spoke area I would hang it on the wall as a decoration ... that's just my opinion though perhaps the carbon experts can shed more light A photo would definitely help though!
  12. As much as some may despise this kind of lifestyle bloody hell I'd do it in a heartbeat if it was an option!
  13. The weather has been rather atrocious so did my first PROPER indoor trainer ride today for a very long time putting in some effort ... 'dead tired' but happy 😊
  14. I can't keep up with the deliveries, apologies 😜
  15. I do use oval rings and have my own opinion of the benefits I have felt, be those perceived or real .... I am also aware that there are some strong opinions about them on this here forum and they are not all positive 🤪
  16. My last 2c on this subject .... With a 1x whatever chainring you decide it'll be a compromise. Takes hat and coat ....
  17. Must be getting better ... beat all the commuters except one I couldn't drop. We stopped for a chat by the flooded Bridge, some crazy flooding on the Klipriver round Alberhoughton "Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient."
  18. To my knowledge boost 3mm, non boost 6mm ... then again no idea what '0mm' is for ... luckily there are cleverer okes on here than me that'll soon help om sure 😎
  19. Unless you're already super strong "gear for the hills" ... that's my viewpoint anyway
  20. Amen brother
  21. There are some things we don't discuss in public .... more than 10 less than 20 😜 #EkSeMaarNet
  22. 'Trust the process' as the cool kids say 😎 #WhatABike
  23. My assumption in general when buying second hand goods on the hub, or just getting something sent because the person is just cool like that 😎, that it's not their job I.e. its not an online business or business of any other kind. Therefore they are busy with some kind of other job making their 'real' money and can't just rush off to the PUDO box at will .... I'd just wait a bit and if requested would probably pay a bit extra if asked Just me?
  24. ...you fix what you can fix and you let the rest go. If there ain't nothin to be done about it it aint even a problem. It's just an aggravation. Stress relief every. single.time
